CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONER OBERLY
says the Illinois democratic association OF
Washington, icing, as it is, an organization
of federal Office holders ftom Illinois, It's
members, by its very existence, violated
several of the penal codes of the civil ser
vice law. What ia tiuo Of The Illinois demo
cratic association OF Washington, must be
true Of the political associations of ali the
other States in Washington, republican ~
we'll as democratic, and Mr.. Oherly, as
conscientious officer of the Government,
should not only have those associations dis
banded, but have tho individual members
thereof prosecuted in The courts for their
violation OF the civil service law.

Management Of Testimony.

Most witnesses summoned to testify in
cases in the criminal court are anxious to be
placed on the stand the very first thing after
the case Is opened, ana grow indignant at
being held sometimes for couple Of days.
They think that the lawyers on either side
have only to present their facts without any
regard to arrangement Of them. The fact is,
however, that the Importance Of testimony is
very often dependent solely on the place In
which it Is put in, upon being foreshadowed
by what has gone before and explained by
what comes afterward. A witness, for in
stance, might testify at the beginning of u
long case to a state Of facts damaging to the
state or the defense, and its force would be
lost before the case was finished. Put in at
the last it would DO moro securely fixed in
the memory Of the jury, and there are oc-.
casions when it would be stronger still if
sandwiched in the middle Of the evidence.
Witnesses must be put on the stand with
the same regard to effect as the characters
are introduced in a novel, and each chapter
Of the case must be i'm q certain place. The
first chapter would not do in the middle of
the book, nor the middle chapter at the be
ginning Of the book. Every trial in which a
mans life and liberty are at stake is more or
less of a tragedy, and that the jury may I'M
derstand it, it has to be put in an intelligent
manner, and with view to holding their
attention. Globe Democrat
